Neymar was a 66/1 chance when making his debut in a strong maiden at Newmarket but stayed on nicely after missing the break and that will have brought him on a bundle. Surprise Call is by New Approach out of a mare who won over 1m4f and though holding no fancy entries he can be expected to be well enough forward to make his presence felt. WONDER LAISH is out of a mare who has produced useful winners with her first three foals and he made a promising debut on this track in October so is given the nod to make a successful reappearance. Richard Of Yorke has a smart pedigree and it would be no surprise to see him produce a big run.
